May SNOWFALL hits Chelyabinsk in Russia, thousands left without power (PHOTOS)

Chelyabinsk, the Russian city that made headlines with its meteorite, triple sun and blue snow, has been hit by a new natural phenomenon. The city in the Southern Urals marked May 9 with a sudden snowfall so thick it left 39,000 people without power.

The wintry weather,
which started on May 9,hasn’t discouraged social media
users who were preparing to mark 70 years since victory over Nazi
Germany in WWII. They marked the words “May 9” in the
snow, and drew pictures of St. George’s ribbons on their snowy
cars.

Luckily, the explosion occurred about 30 to 40km over the city
and the meteor didn’t make an unwelcome crash landing in the
middle of the city. There were no serious casualties, but about
1,600 people received minor injuries, mostly from fragments of
shattered glass.
